About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2023InterestsWritingMusicReadingPets & Animals
My name is Monika Guzik-Skirzynska, I’m Polish. I lived in Poland for most of my live, but recently I have moved to UK. I’m married with three adult daughters. I have a soft spot for animals - I have three dogs. I have many interests such as music, playing piano and guitar, writing songs and composing. Some of my other hobbies include literature (reading as well as writing) and IT - recently I became a qualified manual tester of software. I have a certificate ISTQB.Me as a Teacher
I’m a Polish language teacher as well as music and art. I graduated from Polish studies at the Jagiellonian University and postgraduate studies in music and fine arts at the University of Rzeszow. I was teaching Polish language for 27 years in Polish school. My work was awarded many times by the headmistress and the mayor of my city. My lessons have won recognition from the inspectors of the Board of Education.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to needs and abilities of my students. I believe that „diving into the language” is the best way to learn. I conduct conversations, teach grammar (if anyone needs it) and literature. With me you can learn many variations of Polish language formal, literary, poetic, colloquial and dialects I will teach you to not only speak and understand spoken language but also how to write all forms of written expression. With me, you can even write poems!My teaching material

I've been intensively preparing for the B1 exam with Monika for more than two months, and I want to highlight her professionalism and dedication to her work. We've focused on developing my writing skills and reinforcing grammar, and Monika has proven to be a teacher of the highest level.
Monika is an active and attentive teacher who genuinely cares about the learning process. She has prepared numerous materials for our lessons, including books, her own presentations on various topics and levels, and even audio recordings. Monika also takes the time to review and correct my homework outside of lessons.
The lessons take place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We always have plenty of topics to discuss, so there's never a lack of interesting conversation! I’m very glad I chose Monika to help me prepare for the exam, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for focused, quality language teaching. Bardzo Ci dziękuję, Moniko, i do zobaczenia na następne lekcji! :)

Pani Monika jest najlepszą nauczycielką języka polskiego, jaką kiedykolwiek spotkałam. Widzi błędy, które uczeń popełnia i odpowiednio wybiera nastepny temat. Lekcje są dosłownie dostosowane do potrzeb. Pani jest bardzo profesjonalna i pozytywna. Lubię moje lekcje z nią i bardzo motywuje mnie do nauki języka polskiego! ❤️

Monika pomogła mi zdać egzamin państwowy i przenieść znajomość języka polskiego na wyższy poziom (od a1 do b1). Zaczęłam więcej mówić i więcej rozumieć.
Monika jest jak latarnia, która wskazuje drogę, a ty od razu jesteś na właściwej ścieżce. ✨

It's always such a pleasure to talk to Monika - I'm taking the Informal Polish Conversation classes, and the conversations are always very effective and give me a lot think about outside of class, not only in terms of grammar, but even in regards to the topics themselves. I already feel a lot more confident speaking in Polish thanks to these lessons and I can't wait for the next one! 😊
Rozmowa z Moniką to dla mnie zawsze przyjemność - Korzystam z lekcji "Informal Polish Conversation", a rozmowy są zawsze bardzo skuteczne i dają mi wiele do myślenia poza lekcjami, nie tylko pod względem gramatyki, ale nawet samych tematów. Już czuję się o wiele pewniej mówiąc po polsku dzięki tym lekcjom i nie mogę się doczekać następnych! 😊
